The prince's tone was blunt, Grand Master Yang was not weak at all, although his attitude was as respectful as before, he never softened, and said firmly: "I don't have any intentions, I just want to seek justice for the victimized people. After all, His Highness said yes Retrial, but as far as Wei Chen knows, so far, the case of the Liu family is nothing more than handing over the documents to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The members of the Liu family are doing well. They have never been arrested or tried, so what is the retrial? "

After Grand Master Yang said this, the crown prince also remembered that although he had passed on the case of the Liu family, but because of the border war, he hadn't had time to take him to prison for real trial, so after a moment of silence, he said angrily : "Since I handed over the documents to the Ministry of Punishments, I will naturally support the thorough investigation to the end. It's just that the prisoner is on the sidelines, which is delayed. Even if Grand Master Yang doesn't say it, Gu still remembers this matter, and will definitely urge the Ministry of Punishments to investigate as soon as possible. Arrest the Liu family and put them in jail, and the trial will reveal the truth."

The members of the branch of the Liu family who actually committed the crime have long been dealt with by King Shun. Those who deserve to be exiled will not be implicated as long as the emperor does not pursue them too much and has the crown prince as the head of the Liu family.

But things are just like this, no one would have thought that a woman would jump out of those who have been persecuted by the Liu family these years and become Grand Master Yang's most beloved young girl. After all, although Taishi Yang is indifferent to fame and wealth, he only loves to collect ancient books and paintings, but his students are all over the world. What kind of grievances did Grand Master Yang suffer? Not to mention the crown prince, even Emperor Kang Ping had a terrible headache.

Therefore, when he heard what the prince said, Emperor Kang Ping couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. He was afraid that what Grand Master Yang would say would distract the two masters and apprentices, so he hurriedly interrupted: "What the prince said is that this kind of insanity is shocking." Naturally, the case must be thoroughly investigated to the end, Grand Master Yang, please rest assured, I will ask someone to draw up an order to urge the Ministry of Punishment to investigate this case clearly, and give justice to the victims, as for the Crown Prince..."

Emperor Kang Ping paused for a moment, looked up at Grand Master Yang, and saw that although his expression was calm, there was an obvious anger in his eyes, so he knew that it would be impossible not to beat the prince, so he thought about it, and reprimanded him: " The fact that the Liu family has been so unscrupulous and bold all these years is due to the crown prince's too much favor and trust. Although he has no direct relationship with the prince, he is also at fault. However, I have punished him twice before, and he also knows his mistakes Otherwise, I will retry the case of Liu's family if I don't care about it. According to Grand Master Yang, should I just forgive him this time? After all, the crown prince is still young and uncertain. It is inevitable to listen to the villain for a while. After this time Fortunately, he will know how to recognize people in the future."

The sincerity of Emperor Kang Ping's words completely gave Grand Master Yang enough face. Even though Grand Master Yang was still angry, it was not a small thing for him to slander King Shun. Didn't he still beat back the jaw and made such a great contribution?It's just that it's hard to say anything, so I can only suppress my anger, and said in a low voice: "What your majesty said is that after this battle, the prince should have improved a bit. As a prince and a teacher, I have the responsibility to educate the prince, so naturally I shouldn't It's too harsh, but His Majesty should think twice about the reward from His Royal Highness Shun Wang, after all His Royal Highness Shun Wang has made such great contributions, don't let the hearts of the heroes be chilled."

After all this talk, it turned out to be back to King Shun. If Emperor Kang Ping knew that he was not familiar with King Shun and hadn't met him a few times, he would almost have thought that what he said earlier was for the last few sentences, but although it was Knowing that Grand Master Yang is only seeking truth from facts, but still feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, the expression on his face became lighter, and he waved his hands and said: "What Grand Master Yang said is true, but what the crown prince said is also reasonable. Just change the fief rashly, otherwise King Shun's previous management will be wasted, and this precedent will be set for other feudal lords to follow suit."

Although Emperor Kang Ping did not make a final decision on the matter of rewards, judging by his attitude, it is likely that he will not change. The prince and other courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered something again. Yes, but the matter of giving a marriage, it can't be true.

The other courtiers were better, at most they secretly regretted not being able to marry Lu Shangshu's daughter for their own son, and let such a beautiful girl with both beauty and talent marry to such a wild place, but Lu Shangshu was pitiful, He almost lost his breath, his good daughter, why did she have such a hard life, marrying such a reckless man who has nothing but a throne and nothing.

Chang'an City, which had been in chaos for several months, finally swept away the previous decadence, and was lively and happy for a while, but as the news of Pingzhou's great victory spread to Chang'an, the people were happy and joyful, just like New Year's Eve. The courtiers and even the prince were mournful and gloomy. After all, they agreed when Zhuo He wanted Princess Kang An to get married. His elder brother, King Shun, might come to trouble them. Fortunately, he is already a feudal lord, and he can't reach Chang'an for a long time, but they have to be on guard. They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that he will secretly send a few people on a whim. They went into the city and beat them up, but the beating was really useless, and even the emperor might not be able to make decisions for them.

The courtiers were prepared to be attacked by King Shun, but Lu Shangshu and the Liu family were miserable. One family had a quarrel, and they staged one cry, two disturbances and three hanged themselves all day long. The family never expected that the things that happened so long ago would be found again. Back to them, they thought that with the support of the crown prince, they would at most push one or two people out to take the blame. They didn't expect that one day the whole family would be sent to prison. They even heard the meaning of the guard who came to arrest them, that it was the emperor who came to arrest them. In other words, they are dead?

Who wants to die if they can live, not to mention that the Liu family is not a tough one, who can resist the crime and save others, so the Ministry of punishment has not done much. Those who served as the hall officials of the Ministry even ended up on the prince's head.

The crown prince was extremely wronged by this, and the Ministry of punishment was also a little terrified, and didn't want to go down to investigate, but there was an imperial decree on top, so he had to investigate if he didn't dare to investigate, and there was a Grand Master Yang who was watching closely, so the Ministry of punishment was procrastinating and delaying, This case finally went to the court of Emperor Kang Ping.

Emperor Kang Ping was naturally furious. Regardless of the presence of several other ministers in the palace, he picked up the document and threw it on the prince angrily. As a crown prince, what do you need so much money for? Is it because I lack you or your mother lacks you, you really...you really want to make me angry to death before you are willing."

The prince was hit by Emperor Kang Ping like this, the pain was not painful, but the whole person was stunned on the spot in disbelief, obviously did not expect that Emperor Kang Ping would treat him like this, until Emperor Kang Ping scolded him angrily, and then turned back violently God, hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said aggrievedly: "I am wronged. As a crown prince, I don't want anything. How can I be greedy for this little money? I just receive congratulatory gifts from the Liu family every year on my birthday. I don't dare to charge more than one cent on weekdays, how could I think that the congratulatory gift given to my minister by a dignified calligrapher is not clean, if I knew it was like this, my minister would not dare to accept it no matter what, not only If you don’t accept it, you will go back and give a few impeachments to impeach the Liu family. The emperor knows best about the temperament of the son and minister, so I ask the emperor to learn from you.”

Emperor Kang Ping knew that Suo was so angry after knowing the whole story of this incident. He didn't calm down because of the prince's few explanations. Instead, he became even more angry, and threw something in front of him with a cold snort. , said: "At this time you are still lying to me, it is just a congratulatory gift? What kind of congratulatory gift is worth a million taels of silver, even when I celebrate my birthday, what I collected together is not as heavy as you. Tell me that the Liu family is just a minister. , if you don’t use some inappropriate means, how can you come up with such a large gift? Besides, don’t you feel hot when you receive the gift? One million taels, this is the hard-earned money of many people. In my opinion, Grand Master Yang Impeaching you is really impeachment, you really don't look like a crown prince, if it weren't for..."

Emperor Kang Ping obviously wanted to say some angry words, but when the words came to his lips, he was hesitant to say them after all, but he was extremely disappointed with the prince this time, and looked at him with a bit of chilling eyes, and waved his hand to interrupt the prince's desire. After explaining, he sighed and said: "Forget it, I have indulged you too much these years. You should stop meddling in the affairs of the court these days. I will find a few learned Confucianists to teach you, and you just... …For the time being, let’s study and cultivate our character.”

After Emperor Kangping finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then he made an order to the servants around him, "I will tell you that from now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the East Palace without my consent, and the people in the East Palace are not allowed to come out and walk around at will. It's anyone, do you hear me?"

The servant originally wanted to ask what to do if the queen insisted on entering the East Palace, but he didn't expect that before he could say it, he heard Emperor Kang Ping's emphasis, and immediately understood it, and hurried down to deliver the decree.

But the prince was startled when he heard it, but he refused to believe it. Did the emperor want him to stay away from the government and put him under house arrest in the East Palace?

It’s not that he has never been restrained before, but at that time he was just not allowed to walk around at will, and the people in the Eastern Palace were not prohibited from going out to inquire about news, or the ministers of the court came to pass on news to him, but now he is under house arrest in the Eastern Palace, completely cutting him off. The way to know all the information is now only under house arrest, so will Yi Chu be the next step?

The more the prince thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he even suspected that this was a discussion between Taishi Yang and King Shun early in the morning. Otherwise, why did he not impeach him before, but now King Shun brought it up as soon as he made a contribution. It's clearly a wolf's ambition.

Thinking of this, the prince became more and more sure that he was right. Before Emperor Kang Ping could tell him to get off, he kowtowed and cried bitterly with three points of hatred: "Father, Father Mingjian, this matter is really related to I have nothing to do with you, I have lived in the palace for a long time, and all the affairs are handled by the palace people, how could I know that the gift is worth a million taels? No matter what you say, you won’t accept anything, and besides...Furthermore, Taishi Yang’s intention to impeach his minister may not be as simple as he said, and the minister suspects...Suspecting that Taishi Yang and King Shun have secretly colluded for a long time, so that the time is right to frame him. My son, otherwise, why did Grand Master Yang not impeach my son before, but jumped out when the third brother made great contributions, this is clearly arranged long ago, the third brother is ambitious and intends to bring disaster to the court, father."

Emperor Kang Ping never thought that at this time the prince would want to excuse him like this, and even beat him upside down. After the crown prince reprimanded him again, he heard the palace servants outside suddenly say loudly: "His Royal Highness, Mozhou has sent an urgent document for [-] li, may your majesty want to see it now?"

The urgent document at eight hundred miles came from Mozhou again, so Emperor Kang Ping naturally wanted to read it, so he didn't care about getting angry at the moment, so he sent it in with a call from the servant beside him.

Emperor Kang Ping originally thought it was a change in the border war, or a document asking for merit, but he didn't want to open it. First, there was a thick stack of gift lists, and then a memorial, expressing his thoughts on him, Concubine Hui, and Kang An Please ask Emperor Kangping to allow him to return to Chang'an to visit relatives.
